We’re all visual creatures, and it helps to see our work in its final shape. Preview in Kontent.ai does just that for you, and it can help reassure you about how your content appears in your channels in many ways.For instance, an introduction paragraph may seem totally fine length-wise in Kontent.ai. But when you see it in its actual placement on the website, you may find it looks too long.
Edit, preview, publish!
With the preview at your disposal, you can cross-check how your content looks before it goes live:
Edit in context: Make changes and see immediately how they appear on websites, apps, PDFs, etc.
Consistent content: Reduce errors and ensure your content is accurate in your channels.
No guesswork: Save time seeing your changes live side-by-side while editing without switching tabs.
Preview in Web Spotlight
If you use Web Spotlight, you can see the content preview directly in Kontent.ai. In a content item opened in Web Spotlight, select the Preview tab to see it.To go back to the content item editing, click the button on the element you want to edit or switch back to the Editor tab.
Previewing your content outside Web Spotlight can be useful when you want to see the content exactly the way your customers will see it in their browsers, for example.
Find the content item in Content & assets.
Open the content item for editing
Switch on the Preview toggle at the top.
This reveals the preview inside your content item.
Edit directly from the preview
If you spot a mistake when previewing your content, you can go to the item editing in Kontent.ai by clicking an edit button when previewing your content in a separate tab. This is also something that your developers need to implement first.
